Fatigue behavior of ultrasonically welded CF/PPS single-lap joints compared with bulk PPS using entropy-based finite element analysis

In this study, carbon-fiber-reinforced polyphenylene sulfide (CF/PPS) laminates were joined by ultrasonic welding using a PPS interlayer to form single-lap joints, and their temperature-dependent fatigue behavior was investigated within an entropy-based fracture framework. A fati...
